Chapter 124
I_have_medical_insurance_I_will_go_first: "Drop your weapons! Surrender and your life will be spared!"
Little_book_worm: "Damn it?! Why isn't there any resistance?"
Construction_site_boy_and_bricks: "Their defence is so weak!"
Midnight_pubg: "Refund! Mosquitos, I want a refund! We didn't have a chance to use your rocket at all!"
Needs_ten_more_inches: "Brother Pubg, forget it. It's just 5 silver coins and it's a good thing that you didn't use it. Trust me!"
The battle went very smoothly.
When the players rushed through the gate, the defenders of Bett Street had already dropped their weapons, squatted in the corner on their own initiative, and surrendered with their hands on their heads.
This made many players who were looking forward to a big fight feel like it was such a waste of their enthusiasm.
How can they surrender so quickly?
Can't they resist a little bit?
Following the Administrator through the wooden door blasted open by the cannon, Iron Axe Wu's face was filled with shock and admiration.
So strong!
He had only known that these blue-coated people were well-equipped before, but he didn't expect that they were not only well-equipped, but also had good fighting skills.
Although there were no tactics when charging, their opponents were completely crushed by their momentum with no one dared to resist.
Thinking of this, Iron Axe Wu secretly rejoiced in his heart for his decision. Joining them was indeed the right decision.
"Put our flag on the fence!" Chu Guang glanced around nostalgically, then looked at Walter who was squatting in the corner, "You, get up."
Walter was dazed for a moment before standing up with his hands in the air. "...Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Don't remember me anymore?"
Old Walter chuckled embarrassedly. "Remember..."
Chu Guang smiled, took a sword from Iron Axe Wu's hand, passed it to Old Walter, and then pointed at the people squatting in the corner. "Keep an eye on them for me."
Old Walter hurriedly took the sword and bowed respectfully. "Yes, sir."
The weapons had been confiscated, and these guards had lost the will to resist.
Since they surrendered so readily, Chu Guang didn't intend to give them a hard time. As long as they waited obediently until everything was over, they would naturally let them go home.
Leaving two players to guard the gate, Chu Guang then asked Zhao Rat and Yu Hu to appease the survivors on Bett Street, telling them not to panic, to stay at home and wait patiently for everything to end.
Noticing that the battle noises had subsided, Old Charlie came out of the side alley.
When he saw Chu Guang's face, a surprised expression appeared on his face for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect that the leader of this group of blue-coated people was actually that outsider who wandered around in the wasteland carelessly in the past.
However, his reaction was relatively quick after all. He was only surprised for a few seconds, then bowed his head respectfully and said. "Dear sir, welcome to Bett Street. The survivors here are ready to welcome their new master."
"Keep your head up, the age of the old leech is over, and people here can decide their own future from now on."
Seeing Charlie nodding his head, Chu Guang didn't say much, and got straight to the point. "Since you're here, it can save me some time. I need to let the people of Bett Street know that we're here to free them, not exploit them. No one's life will be affected except the town mayor will be hanged. So when we attack the castle, I hope no one will get in our way. Do you know what I mean?"
Of course Old Charlie understood it. He bowed his head respectfully. "I'll appease everyone for you."
Chu Guang nodded, looked at the excited players behind him, and pointed to the castle in the center of Bett Street.
"The rest of the people, come with me!"
The players followed the command obediently and marched along the street under Chu Guang's instructions, without disturbing the shivering survivors who were huddled together in the shacks.
There was only one person who was slightly over excited.
After blasting open the gate of Bett street, Mosquito, who was not satisfied enough, was about to order the player who helped him pull the cannon cart to shoot at the castle, but Chu Guang stopped him immediately.
You must be kidding.
The only place on Bett Street that had the most loot was the old leech's castle.
This was his trophy.
How could he let him blow it up?
There was no resistance along the way, and the players, led by Chu Guang, passed through several brick houses near the center of the town and quickly arrived at the gate of the castle.
When the group arrived, the gate of the castle was tightly closed, and the situation inside could not be seen at all from the windows.
Through the VM, Chu Guang instructed the players to split up into three groups with one group surrounding the castle from the outside, another group occupying the armory next to the castle, and the last group attacking from the front of the castle to capture the old leech!
"The demolition team is in place!"
"Go!"
Although the door was clearly slammed open, the few players in charge of attacking the building happily placed explosives at the door.
In a deafening blast, the main gate of the castle shattered into pieces, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Go go go!"
"Charge!"
With bayonets mounted on the rifles, the players shouted and stepped through the thick smoke of the explosion and rushed into the castle.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the gorgeous decoration in the castle hall.
"Holy cow! Is it really okay to have this kind of decoration in the post-apocalyptic world?!"
"Damn, this pillar is actually made of marble!"
"The pillar should have been built before the war... But this carpet, holy shit, it is actually made of bearskin!"
"This is simply luxurious!"
Everyone was still starving, but the old town mayor was already well-off!
Not just the carpet that was made from the fur of the beasts, but the decorations hanging on the walls, and the crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling... all of which were in stark contrast to the dilapidated streets outside. This was not like a wasteland building at all, but a palace.
In addition to those things that were very valuable at first sight, the players quickly discovered that there was an elevator in this castle that had only seven floors in total!
However, the generator here seemed to have stopped working.
The players who entered the castle were quickly divided into two teams. One team went up the stairs, and the other team started a carpet-like search from the first floor to find the location of the generator and the whereabouts of the old leech.
However, what was unexpected was that after these players who were responsible for attacking the building searched the entire castle, they still did not find the key NPC of the mission - the old leech's family.
These people disappeared from the castle as if they had evaporated from the world!
But soon, a player named [Midnight_pubg] made a new discovery while exploring the underground wine cellar.
Carrying an axe back to the administrator, Midnight_pubg reported excitedly. "Dear administrator, we found a secret passage in the underground wine cellar!"
Escaped?
After Chu Guang heard it, he was not that surprised.
With Old Leech's tyrannical style of governance, if he didn't secure his own backside, he might not even get a peaceful night's sleep.
Looking at Midnight_pubg, who reported the situation to him, Chu Guang immediately ordered. "Take two people with you and check the secret passage. See if you can catch up with them."
"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up with them, I need to know where that tunnel leads to!"
While he was saying this, the VM that Midnight_pubg was wearing on his arm popped up a message.
[Mission: Exploring the underground passage in the castle's wine cellar (This mission can be shared up to two players)]
[Reward: 5 silver coins, 50 contributions]
Glancing at the mission pop-up window, Midnight_pubg clasped his fists in excitement. "Yes, sir!"
After speaking, he formed a team with two players nearby and went towards the secret tunnel with them.
Watching the players running towards the underground wine cellar, Chu Guang stroked his chin.
Speaking of which, this old leech really knew how to enjoy his life. He actually built a wine cellar in the basement?
Perfect, while celebrating the victory at night, the old mayor's collection could serve as a perfect bonus for the players.
Thinking like this, Chu Guang walked to the armory next to the castle. The warehouse keeper who was guarding it had raised his hands and surrendered. At the moment, he was crouching in the corner.
Passing through the open door, Chu Guang glanced inside, a look of surprise and confusion appearing on his face.
There were 30 iron-barreled rifles from Boulder City, the same weapon Liszt sold him. There were also homemade pistols, shotguns, etc. on the table, as well as bullets in the box, and grenades, enough to arm a guerrilla!
These people's equipment wasn't that terrible.
They were even slightly more standard than marauders' gear.
However, even until the castle was breached, these weapons were still not given to the survivors of Bett Street, and fell into his hands in the end.
Confusion was written all over Iron Axe Wu's face. "Their equipment is not weak."
Chu Guang nodded. "Yes."
"...Then why didn't he give the equipment to his people?"
"Because those people are not his people. They are just his servants and slaves. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed them to hunt, he wouldn't even allow them to have bows and arrows."
Chu Guang thought for a moment, then looked at Iron Axe Wu and continued. "Let your tribesmen load these spoils into a waggon and transport them back to the outpost to find Luca. He knows what to do."
Not expecting the administrator to trust him so much, Iron Axe Wu was flattered. With a solemn expression, he respectfully accepted the command, "Yes, sir!"
After finishing talking to Iron Axe Wu, Chu Guang waved his hand, signaling the players behind him to follow him.
"Let's go."
"Let's go visit the precious collection of the old leech!"
...
Just when the players from the outpost planted the 404 flag on the spire of the castle, Zhao Rat, who was ordered to go deep into the neighborhood and appease the masses, finally came to the door of his own house.
Looking at his family, this skinny man cried out and hugged his family members tightly. "Father! Mother! Brother! Sister-in-law! I'm back!"
His elderly mother burst into tears. "You are finally back!"
"Thanks to those blue-coated people. They saved my life." Zhao Rat with red eyes sniffed and forced himself to put on a smile from his face, "The salt I asked the second child of the Yu family to bring back… did you get it?"
His father nodded, looking a little nervous. "I got it. But, son, tell me honestly, where did you get those salts? Why is the quality of it better than the ones we bought at the grocery store?"
His elder brother on the side also nodded nervously and said anxiously. "Yeah. Don't tell us that you took it from other people using force!"
"What do you mean by taking it from other people using force? Am I that kind of person?" Zhao Rat said with a smile, "Don't worry. I bought it with my wages!"
His elder brother looked confused. "Wages? What wages..."
When they worked for the old town mayor, they never received any wages; at most they would get a meal. Sometimes, when the work finished at four o'clock in the afternoon, which was before the meal time, they would not even get a meal.
Zhao Rat said with a smile. "If you work for those blue-coated people, not only will they give you food to eat and a place to live, but they will also give out a silver coin every day, which can be used to exchange other stuff in their warehouse. That salt, I exchanged it from their warehouse! It's much better than the grocery store in our town!"
When he said this, he held his elder brother's hand, "Brother, why don't you come to work for them too? I think they are still recruiting! Silver coins can not only be used for salt, but also for food. They are much better than chips! Anyway, it's hard to catch prey in winter, so it's better to make bricks for them. The work they give me is not tiring, and the place I work is very warm. It is much more comfortable than lying in the snow and waiting for prey!"
Zhao Rat's brother's eyes widened in surprise. "Is it really as good as you say?"
Zhao Rat nodded repeatedly. "Of course! Why would I lie to you?"
His elder brother scratched the back of his head and muttered. "Then I'll think about it... By the way, are you still coming back? Or are you going with those people?"
"I plan to work for them until next spring. We don't have enough food at home, so I won't spend the winter at home!"
Looking at his younger brother, the elder brother said guiltily. "... I'm sorry."
Zhao Rat couldn't help chuckling when he heard this. "Why are you sorry? Brother, you don't know how good life is over there. Occasionally we can even have fish soup. I feel like I'm about to gain weight. Anyway, you can see it personally when you go there next time."
Although he was reluctant to leave his family so soon, he still had a task ahead of him.
After saying goodbye to his family, Zhao Rat went out and continued on to the next house.
Meanwhile, the same thing happened in the Yu family as well.
Looking at the second brother who came back from outside, Yu Xiong, who was holding an axe in his hand and was guarding the house with a look of horror, pulled him over nervously and asked. "What happened outside? Who are those people that came to our town?"
Yu Hu said with a smile. "Brother, don't worry, those are Big Brother Chu's people!"
"Big Brother Chu?!" Yu Xiong was stunned when he heard that it was his savior. Letting out a sigh of relief and dropping the axe in his hand, he looked at his younger brother and asked. "Why is he here?"
"It's because of our town mayor!" Hearing his elder brother's question, Yu Hu thought of the letter. He couldn't help becoming angry, and subconsciously used the words he learned from Chu Guang.
"That old leech actually colluded with marauders in secret! He's such a despicable person! Bah!"
The survivors of wasteland all hated marauders, even more than they hated mutants.
Yu Xiong had a look of shock on his face. He didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't understand how the town mayor got involved with the marauders.
"If it's them, then there shouldn't be anything that we need to worry about," his father standing next to his elder brother also let go of the weapon in his hand and said with a sigh of relief, "As long as it's not the Bloodhand Clan, then there shouldn't be any problems."
Looking at his father, Yu Hu suddenly remembered something. "Ah, by the way, Dad, I forgot to tell you that Bloodhand Clan won't harass us anymore!"
"Won't harass us anymore?" The old man glanced at his son and said with a smile, "Hehe, which winter did they not come to harass us? Just because you said so, you think they will really stop coming?"
"It's not because I said so," Yu Hu said with a smile and continued proudly, "Bloodhand Clan's camp has been destroyed by Brother Chu! Those people will never come back again!"...................................................................................................................................
